Brought this to a friends for dinner. A few were like hmmm Frisee?? Everyone raved about it and there wasn't a drop left. Definitely a keeper. Really fresh and great flavor! Turned some "anti-frisee" eaters in to fans. Such a nice change in greens.

I made this today with endive and it's delicious and will certainly make it again. I didn't have cherrys so I used cranberries and a Washington Delicious apple. I was also out of ACV so I used Raspberry flavored vinegar and it worked just fine. We had the salad with a beef stew from the crock pot. My grandson thought it was great so I know I'll be making it again soon and maybe have some cold roasted chicken on it for a light dinner.

Like other reviewers, I substituted cranberries for the cherries in this recipe, and "spring mix" salad greens for the frisee which I couldn't get. I also allowed the dressing to "sit" for several hours before assembling the salad. It worked out beautifully and we will now be making this salad (or at least the dressing) on a regular basis. Turkey or chicken would be an excellent addition to make it an "entree" salad.

I screwed up EVERYTHING at my dinner party last night--except for this exquisite salad. The trick is to use walnut oil instead of EVOO; it gives it a much more special flavor and really elevates what is a pretty common mix of ingredients to something very lovely.

Tried this when it
was first published
in the magazine and
keep coming back for
more. Really
delicious and easy,
everyone asks for
the recipe. I
generally make mine
with a spring mix
and either replace
the dried cherries
with dried cranberry
or omit them.
Highly recommended!
